Midsummer Night's Dream: Eye Swoon x Cointreau Dinner

During New York's sweltering summers, Athena Calderone of Eye Swoon spends most of her time out in Amangansett on Long Island. It was easy to see why on Saturday night when she opened up her incredible '60s style ranch, which manages to feel contemporary yet rustic at the same time, to friends for the perfect summer soirée. Guests including Nate Berkus and husband Jeremiah Brent, Sabine Heller, Jeanann Williams, and Natalie Joos sipped on refreshing Cointreau cocktails by the pool and nibbled on market fresh veggies as the sun went down. Some daring guests even passed the time during cocktail hour by playing on a zip line set up in Calderone's back yard for her young son. As soon as the sun finally set, guests were seated Morroccan style at a communal table in the backyard, with twinkling lights over head, for a three-course meal prepared by chef Jeff Schwartz and Calderone herself.
